Being a big fan of fast sedans, other than the 190e Evo, there’s another Merc that I would definitely consider to find someday; the Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG Limited. In 1990-1994 Mercedes-Benz cooperated with Porsche and built a high performance version for the W124 E- chasis, it was called the 500E. For the last 500 1994 500E’s built were branded “Limited”. 200 silver paint and 300 midnight blue. AMG walked in Mercedes-Benz Germany’s stable and picked 12 500E “Limited” to be fitted with 6.0L M119 V8 engine.
If the 500E is a “medium rare”, and the E60 AMG is “rare”, consider the E60 AMG Limited the frozen meat mother of rareness. The AMG tuned V8 produced 376 bhp at 5,500 rpm 428 lb/ft at 3,750 rpm clocking in 0–62 mph in 5.2 seconds. The results were so favorable that AMG considered building E60 for customers upon special request. The package included the tuned AMG v8, other AMG components, suspension, electronics and the optional 3-piece staggered OZ “monoblock” wheels.
No one knows where the dirty dozen landed. Most of the E60 you will find today are 500E’s professionally modified by AMG. With all that said, I always thought that the 500E would be the “Don” of all heavily tinted “mafia cars”. Instead of driving a Porsche 928, Scarface should have driven the E60 AMG Limited.
May not be a “Limited E60” but check out this short walk-around footage of this “Boss” car.
